Crazy as heck is it not? Tomorrow I will start drawing number 366 with a new 'background.' Since my goal was to do a drawing a day for a year, my goal is almost finished, but in a way, it is finished because I actually started this drawing journey in December of 2020. Or maybe this is just the beginning of greater artwork by me. I had not been drawing anything for at least a couple of years, so I was out of practice when I started my goal. When I started up again, I did not know it was going to lead me to doing this beautiful artwork that has never been done before the way I do it now. My poor brain will never be the same again, but that is a good thing. And just in case anyone is wondering, when I started drawing again with pencils and color pencils in December 2020, it was like I was starting all over again which of course is not true because once you learn something you really cannot forget it. Although when I picked up a violin again, I realized that it too, was like starting again, even if my fingers still want to try to play such a beautiful instrument I decided to wait until maybe next year to play or practice playing the violin again, as limited as it was for me. To anyone who thinks that they cannot learn to draw or do any kind of artwork or play a violin, etc. it is not true. You have to start somewhere and practice, practice, and practice. That is one key idea in life. Practice the art of living because life is very short on this planet. Or just maybe, you can learn to draw or play the violin in an afterlife. Now that would be pretty neat too. A Cross and Mandala Art Together as One, Touching but Separate. The Cross is the great symbol of Christianity in its true form. A Mandala Circle generally represents the spiritual journey, starting from outside to the inner core, through layers. A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala, lit. 'circle', [ˈmɐɳɖɐlɐ]) is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing the attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or especially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami, or actual shrines.[1][2] (Taken off the web.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala Various Pencils, colored pencils, and inks, and markers too. These abstract drawings have become an exercise and experiment in using colors. Note: Many of you may be wondering why I am drawing the basic cross outline for my many current daily drawings. It is because my goal is to draw one drawing a day which started off with graphite pencils and colored pencils which led up to using color markers, color pencils and pens which is what I am mainly using now. I hope that all viewers enjoy the beauty in my artwork that I try to express with my ambidextrous brain and mind along with my multi-dimensional consciousness.
